44. Date obtained from tombstone at the Martin Family Cemetery in Weakley County, Tennessee.

49. The Old Martin Family Cemetery is located in Weakley County, Tennessee between Martin and Dresden on Bible Union Road. Go southeast out of Martin, Tennessee on Highway 22 . At the intersection of Highway 45E & Highway 22 go 2.5 miles on Highway 22 to Latta Rd. Turn north on Latta Rd. to a cross road and turn right. Go to another cross road where you will find McClain's Chapel Cemetery. Behind McClain's Chapel Cemetery is the Martin Family Cemetery.

70. a. Halifax County, Virginia Deed Book 44 Page 406 lists John F. Farmer & wife as selling 100 acres of land on Runaway Creek in Halifax County to Elijah Tucker on December 2, 1837. Indexed on LDS Microfilm 0031876.

b. Halifax County, Virginia Deed Book 44 Page 406 lists Elizabeth E. Farmer & husband as selling 100 acres of land on Runaway Creek in Halifax County to Elijah Tucker on February 2, 1837. Indexed on LDS Microfilm 0031876.

71. William Alton Farmer, born in 1905, personally recalled to me on numerous occassions, reference to John F. Farmer as “Flavil Farmer”. However, I have not discovered any official record of this. I have found a lot of documentation that refers to him as “John F. Farmer”. At this point I can only “assume” the “F.” stood for “Flavil”.

< On the Newspaper abstracts. I would like to cite a source for the death of John F. Farmer. This is the closest indication of his death date I have found. I had previously indicated "after 1870" because that was the latest census in which he could be found. With what you provided I will indicate "abt. 1881". I would like to know the name of the Newspaper. Do you have that? I suspect that the "Vol 1/Page 20" refers to the "Newspaper Abstract" book and not the newspaper.

The only date that could be referenced would be on page 17, which is in "CAPS", FRIDAY, MARCH 11, 1881. The previous date found for Court Proceedings is: FRIDAY, MARCH 4, 1881

THEORY: Not knowing if a 5 day work week was observed, (haha) somewhere between Saturday, March 5th and Thursday, March 10th, J.C. Vincent was appointed Admin. (of course, forget about March 6th, that was the Sabbath). Observing the dates I see, the paper was printed weekly.

I know the "Dresden Weekly Democrat" was printed each week. Most likely, in my opinion, the article came from that paper.

One cannot take any transcribed info as "literal". We are only seeing what another person thinks they saw and wrote down. It is best to view the microfilm yourself, since it will be your relations, and therefore, more careful in what you read.

The next date found is FRIDAY, APRIL 1, 1881. There is a lapse of two weeks from the last transcribed info. It is possible either there were no extant records for the weeks of March 18 and March 25th; or, the microfilm was too faded and hard to read.

FACT: Between 1830 - 1900, the date of the Census records is JUNE 1st. All info written down by the "census takers" would be as of June 1st of that year. For example, if your birthday is June 2nd, you would be listed as a year younger.

Hope I haven't confused you! This time of year is busy for everyone and it seems most people are "slack" in research. But, at the first of the year, people are anxious to get a fresh start and there will be lots of postings on all the lists.

Merry Christmas to you and yours.

176. Date estimated only, a guess based on other family member ages or other documented events. The circa (ca) or "around" dates are used only to approximate the era of birth, marriage, or death. This data should be regarded as not reliable, however, the dates are estimated from the few specific dates found in the record. Men usually married later than women since they had to be established enough to afford a family, perhaps at age 25. Women could be 16, but most were 18 or older. Therefore, 25 years added to a known birth date of the husband gives an estimated marriage date. Children usually followed the marriage in predictable two year intervals.

This is the current state of my Martin/Vawter information. As you can see, you appear to be farther along than I. Most of what I have comes from no better than secondary sources, so documentation is not as good as I would like.

Cora Belle Wilson Martin, first wife of Marshall Presley Martin, was the sister of my g-grandfather. I'm guessing that you are related to the Martin's. Would it be okay if I link her to my gg-grandparents? If not, I have her birth place, the names of her other children, and the names of her parents that you might want to add to her memorial. Maybe you know of the buriel places for the other children and can help me out with that. Also, Marshall Presley Martin's second wife, Annie Sothoron Clagett, was the first cousin of my g-grandfather's wife (cousin of Cora Belle's sister-in-law). I'd also like to link to her if possible since her mother was the sister of my gg-grandmother. I'm also looking for a picture of the grave of Dr. Charles Moore Sebastian's first wife, Chartie F, Montgomery of Martin. She was the aunt of Annie Sothoron Clagett Martin. I used to have a picture of the grave, but lost it when my computer crashed. I'm confused as to the cemetery where she was buried. I was originally told that she was buried at the Yellow Fever Cemetery, but her husband stated in his biography that she died from Bright's Disease. Is there a book of cemetery listings that might give the answer as to where she was buried for sure?

Cora Belle Wilson Martin was born in Tomkinsville, Monroe, Kentucky. Her father was Dr. Henry Hervey Wilson, born 1821 in Monroe County Kentucky-died 1899 in Hickman, Fulton, Kentucky, and her mother was Lucy Davis, born 1823 in Smith County Tennessee - died 1863 in Obion County Tennessee. Lucy Davis Wilson and Cora's brother, John Oliver Wilson, are buried at the Old Wilson Cemetery north of Union City near the Tennessee/Kentucky state line. We're not sure where Dr. Wilson is buried, but possibly either in the Wilson cemetery or in the Hickman City Cemetery. Cora's brother Hervey Samuel Wilson (my gg-grandfather) was married to Jennie Montgomery Anderson, 1st cousin of Annie Sothoron Clagett. Jennie's mother was Mary Ann Montgomery and Annie's mother was Elizabeth Jane Montgomery, both daughter's of Jane Dunn Strong Farrar and John Montgomery of Hickman County Tennessee. Jane Farrar Montgomery is buried at the Yellow Fever Cemetery as you show in your message. She went to Weakley County after her husband died. Another connection to your lines was Lloyd Trevathan. He was the son of Hervey S. and Jennie Anderson Wilson's daughter, Cora Belle Martin Wilson (named for her aunt Cora Bell Wilson Martin) and her husband Thomas Henry Trevathan. Cora had a sister that died in Martin also. She was Lucy Annie Wilson, wife of John Devane Bludworth, both buried at the Yellow Fever Cemetery.

1545. Date estimated only, a guess based on other family member ages or other documented events. The circa (ca) or "around" dates are used only to approximate the era of birth, marriage, or death. This data should be regarded as not reliable, however, the dates are estimated from the few specific dates found in the record. Men usually married later than women since they had to be established enough to afford a family, perhaps at age 25. Women could be 16, but most were 18 or older. Therefore, 25 years added to a known birth date of the husband gives an estimated marriage date. Children usually followed the marriage in predictable two year intervals. and public records.

“Cemeteries of Stoddard County Missouri 1839 - 1992” page 357 calls this cemetery “Gregory Cemetery”. It provides directions as: From Highway 25, in Dexter, travel west on Highway H to Pyletown. Travel south on County Road 639, past Smith-Stevenson Cemetery, to the end of the road. Turn west and travel to the top of the hill. Gregory Cemetery is across the road in front of the first house. They provide the location coordinates as S30 T24 R10.

“Cemeteries of Stoddard County Missouri 1839 - 1992” page 644 provides the same location coordinates for the Shelby Cemetery. The directions provided are: From Pyletown, travel 2 1/2 miles south on County Road 239. Shelby Cemetery is on the east side of the road in the woods.

There is no County Road 239 in that area. I believe this to be County Road 639 and Shelby and Gregery Cemeteries to be the same.

Hi I just discovered your amazing site on Ancestry.com. I am descended from Samuel Nathaniel Ellsworth on back to Arthur Aylsworth. I published a book on the Ellsworth family before computers back in the 80’s. One small request. The name of Northrop was a misprint on Samuel’s obituary record. I started genealogy over 55 years ago. Luckily I inherited most of the family artifacts, etc. A lot of my great aunts and uncles were still alive so most of my early information came from the original party. They entire family stated that his name was always Samuel Nathaniel Ellsworth NEVER EVER NORTHROP NOT AS A MIDDLE NAME OR ANYTHING ELSE. He also named his last son (my grandfather) Samuel Nathaniel Ellsworth, Jr.

Hi Bob: I have visited your web site for a few minutes and see some new info I can add. I will go back some more. It shows all the research you have done and the pride you have in your family lines. Thanks for inviting me.

John Adams the son of Martha Somers and Thomas Adams was born in 1873, died in 1946 and was married to Ettie Sawyers, born 1873 died 1952. They had 2 children: Cora ( my mother's first cousin) born 1906 and Russell V. born 1907. Cora was married to a James (?) Parham.

My grandfather, William Gideon Walker was born in Fulton, Ky in Oct. 22, 1868. His parents were Eli Walker born 1832 in Henry Co., Tn. died about 1875, probably in Ky. He married for the 2nd time, Mary Gordon in Obion Co. in Nov. 1862. Mary was born in 1835 and I do not know her death date, but it probably occurred in Dukedom, Weakley Co. She was widowed young, leaving my grandfather fatherless and in dire circumstances.

I suppose the "occ." in your family web cards mean occupation? If so, Eli Walker was a farmer as well as Baptist preacher. I think John Adams might have been a school teacher (maybe at Rock Hill school). However, I am not sure about that. Frpm time to time I will try to fill in other info if I have any. Happy New Year to you and your family. Grace

I have photos of my grandfather James A. Nowlin and my greatgrandfather James M. Nowlin. Mollie was his second wife. James A. Nowlin's full name was James Almus Nowlin. He died when my mother Lubbie Thompson Nowlin, was 6 years old. James M. Nowlin full name was James Madison Nowlin, son of David K. and Caroline Martin Nowlin. James Madison's first wife and the mother of his childern was Catherine White Nowlin. We do not really know where she is buried.

I ran across your ancestry page while researching my Sifford family. You have notes on your pages for Chester Lee Sifford and Dorothy L Reynolds that you are not sure if Social Security Death Index information is correct. I can tell you it is.

Chester is the father of my father, John Raymond Sifford. Chester was living with my father in Jacksonville, FL at the time of his death and the date listed is correct.

Dorothy is the mother of my father. She passed while at their winter residence (they were snow birds living in both Clark, Missouri in the summer and San Benito, TX in the winter).

Dearest cousin Bob, Sorry I took so long to write, but I am a college professor and the weeks just prior to the holidays are chaos at school. And grading term papers always put the rest of my life on hold.

You and I are related because your Frederick Sr., son of John Sr. was the brother of my Benjamin. From there my line is Stephen to John F. to William to William Butler to George Washington I to my dad George Washington II.

I am attaching a file that tells you what have learned positively about my line - I'm only sending direct ancestors to save space. I hope it helps fill in some gaps. I'd love to get the same on your line in return.

As for the DNA relevance, I am not an expert. But I believe that the more persons who match Group C, THAT ALSO CAN TRACE THEIR ROOTS back to Henry (and the loose fitting Thomas), the more likley it is that we really are proving this family. Now we have both paperwork research and DNA tests to support are BELIEVED lineage. . . . . . . . . . .Merry Christmas Cousins,Elizabeth Farmer Lahey

Hello - I just came across your genealogical site on the web. Very nice and well organized site. I also use a Mac and Reunion Software. You have a reference of the Potter family in New Milford,Susquehanna, Pennsylvania. The Potters are a close line of my family. I respectfully want to give you a correction of your information on this family. You have stated that Elizabeth "Betsy Ann" Ellsworth died in New Milford. This is incorrect. I used the internet source "Arthur Aylsworth and his Descendents", I went straight out of the book. I can not find any reference to her death occuring in Pennsylvania. I have tracked the Potters all the way across the U.S. into California. Her daughters Mary Lovina and Sarah Jennette were killed in a accident in Pennsylvania before they moved West. Wellington and Elizabeth Potter and their remaining children moved to Nebraska in March of 1880 settling in Elm Creek (Buffalo County). Wellington died on 23 Jan 1910 at the age of 81. Elizabeth died on 12 May 1900. I have additional information on this family if you are interested. I also have photos of their headstones.
